Who?

I am not sure but Youk may have hastened his own demise.

 

The very first time I heard stories (all with a positive spin) that he was doing serious weight lifting this offseason I really wondered about that. It was all presented as stuff he either has not done before or has not done in a long time. That part I definitely believed.

 

Hitting has nothing to do with a pair of guns. Hitting is hand/eye coordination, speed with the wrists and getting the hips through. A robust pair of guns out of character with the rest of your body will help you tote the bat up to the plate and back again.

 

I do think he has made an effort to make himself more of a power hitter but I just don't see him as the typical 240-250 average slugger.

 

If you have noticed along with the other things plaguing him at the moment, his bat has looked very slow. That would surely be one possible outcome of a baseball player spending to much time in the weight room. One thing that should not have effected but is there none the less...the one time king of walks no longer draws walks.
